FNA- Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami condemned the US designation of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) as a “terrorist organization”, stressing that President Donald Trump’s behavior and decisions have no value to Iran.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“The Americans are trying to weaken and distort the Islamic Republic of Iran’s positions in the region and in the fight against the Takfiri-Zionist grouplets through weakening the powerful and anti-arrogance IRGC,” General Hatami said in a meeting with his Serbian counterpart on the sidelines of the eighth Moscow Conference on International Security (MCIS) on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He said that Iran does not attach any importance to Trump’s illegal behaviors which are against the international regulations.<\/p>\n

“We believe that Americans are in the status of desperation and intend to foment insecurity and instability in the region with double-standard and contradictory attitude on the international scene,” General Hatami said.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the IRGC was formally blacklisted by\u00a0the US as\u00a0a “Foreign Terrorist Organization” following\u00a0a relevant announcement by\u00a0President Donald Trump on\u00a08 April.<\/p>\n

Responding to Washington’s move, Iran immediately declared the US as “state sponsor of terrorism” and American forces in the region “terrorist groups”.<\/p>\n

Iran’s top security body, the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), in a statement declared the United States a \u201cterrorist government\u201d, and blacklisted the “CENTCOM and all its affiliates a terrorist group\u201d.<\/p>\n

The SNSC – that is headed by President Hassan Rouhani – condemned Washington’s move, calling it \u201can illegal and dangerous action\u201d that poses a \u201cmajor threat to regional and international peace and security and grossly violates the rules of international law”.<\/p>\n

The statement further condemned the US decision as \u201cunlawful and unreasonable action\u201d prompted by the Islamic Republic’s regional influence and success in fighting against terrorists, and blamed CENTCOM for harming Iran\u2019s national security as well as ruining the lives of \u201cinnocent Iranian and non-Iranian individuals\u201d to promote the US \u201caggressive policies\u201d in West Asia (the Middle-East).<\/p>\n

“The Islamic Republic of Iran regards this baseless move as a major threat to regional and international peace and security and a blatant violation of the compelling rules of international law and the United Nations Charter,” Iran’s top security body reiterated.<\/p>\n

Also, former IRGC Commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari blasted Washington for designating the IRGC as a “terrorist organization”, stressing that his forces would further increase power in the year ahead.<\/p>\n

General Jafari described the US move as “ridiculous”, saying that “the IRGC is in the hearts of the people”.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod willing, the IRGC will grow stronger in the coming year in defensive and offensive fields more than before,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuch to enemies\u2019 dismay, the IRGC and the Army will stand together and will continue to support the deprived and the oppressed people all over the world without fear,\u201d General Jafari said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
